What is Sexual McCarthyism : Clinton, Starr, and the emerging constitutional crisis about?

The greatest threat to the future of the office of the American Presidency may turn on whether William Jefferson Clinton told a lie, under oath, and then tried - unsuccessfully - to keep secret his sexual relationship with a 21-year-old White House intern. The media's feeding frenzy and the public's voyeuristic prurience have been fueled by almost daily disclosures about this affair, making <i>The Starr Report</i> itself an instant #1 national bestseller. Yet all of this obscures the very real matters of state that lie at the heart of the Starr investigation. In <i>Sexual McCarthyism</i>, best-selling author Alan M. Dershowitz addresses the key issues at stake - issues that transcend the titillating daily headlines - and what their long-term importance and effects my be. Among the many important questions he raises and then answers are these:<blockquote><center><ul><li>Why the President's private life actually <i>is</i> the business of the American people.</li><li>Why the independent counsel law is a necessary evil, but why the appointment of Kenneth Starr was improper.</li><li>Why the Supreme Court was right in requiring the President to submit to the Paula Jones lawsuit.</li><li>
